Re: What's the Difference?: Water Filters

Matthew Teague raises a good point in stating that the only way to know what’s really in your drinking water is to examine test results for drinking water supply. I have an informative article in my blog on this very topic of whether or not additional testing is necessary. (http://www.blog.waterfilters.net/to-test-or-not-to-test/1442) There are a lot of variables to consider. For example, new wells are unpredictable, and you can’t assume your neighbors well is an indicator of the test results you will have. I have also found this video helpful in providing an overview of test kit options available. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qjoPF4dcdq0) Finally, I want to encourage DonMikeSteve to definitely consider reverse osmosis systems for removing both synthetic and organic chemicals from his drinking water. He is on the right track with this observation.
